Politico Worries that Coronavirus Could Help Re-elect Trump

[pjcomix]

Politico is channeling a big fear of liberals concerning the coronavirus outbreak. Is this a fear that the deadly virus could spread exponentially? Perhaps. However, what really disturbs them is the possibility that President Donald Trump will get credit for keeping the number of cases relatively low which would make his reelection more likely.

Political correspondent David Siders somehow assumes that recently the Democrats had an effective plan to "take down Trump." The headline is "How coronavirus blew up the plan to take down Trump."

The subtitle reveals the anxiety: "Donald Trump’s reelection is likely to rise or fall on his handling of the pandemic. And there isn’t much Democrats can do about it."

Myself and another Briefer a week or so ago discussed whether the 2020 POTUS election dynamics will be more analogous to 1932 or 1940.  Place your bets here.

This virus will not be totally beaten when Nov. election happens; especially since Dr. Fauci says it will likely return in the fall.  The public is not going to change the president while this is ongoing. That would be like an experienced surgeon operating on someone, then leaving and a just graduated from medical school surgeon taking over.  Unless Trump totally screws up with the virus epidemic, he will be reelected.
